When it is hard to make friends

From: Sarah, Pri 6, Opera Estate Primary School

If I were Libby, I would give Talia some time to cool down before approaching her. If I were afraid that I would not be able to say the right words, I would ask for someone else’s opinion on what I had to say before approaching Talia. When talking to someone like Talia, I would probably need to earn her trust first. I would tell her how I felt after being bullied by Dustin so that Talia knew that she was not alone. I would tell her that we could overcome this together and if she had any issues, she could always approach me, and I would lend a listening ear.
